The Supreme Court, led by Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, intervened to address persistent environmental degradation caused by industrial waste from textile and steel units in Jodhpur. The Jojari River has been severely impacted by chemical discharge, affecting nearly 50 villages over two decades.
